Maharashtra Medical Council to combat fake doctors with QR codes - Video

The much-awaited 'Know Your Doctor', an exclusive and one-of-a-kind platform created to combat the growing menace of quacks in the state and ensure the highest standards of patient safety, has been ultimately launched by the Maharashtra Medical Council. This innovative mobile application will allow patients to verify a doctor's credentials before seeking medical treatment.

The primary aim of the 'Know Your Doctor' platform is to establish a secure and transparent system that allows patients to verify the credentials of doctors. The KYD portal allows doctors to order a QR code-based plate for their practising premises only after linking their registration ID on the portal. After this, the patients can scan the QR code and know whether the doctor is a verified medical professional or just a quack.
